There's no reason that you can't enjoy cream of mushroom soup if you're dairy free. In fact, this dairy-free cream of mushroom soup is better than what you get from the can. Even if you don't have diet restrictions, this is a recipe for anyone who wants to up level their soups, sauces and casseroles.
Ingredients You'll Need
- Country crock stick butter (with avocado oil) because it tastes so identical to butter that you just might not know the difference yourself
- Mushrooms such as white or Baby Bella
- Flour
- Vegetable or chicken broth- chicken broth will have a much better flavor but the vegetable broth will bring out the earthy mushroom taste without masking it. There's no wrong choice here. Either broth will result in delicious cream of mushroom soup
- Almond milk- I like to use this homemade almond milk recipe because it has a pure clean taste that won't stand out in your dishes. In my opinion, this milk is what really up levels your dairy-free recipes or any recipe for that matter!
- Celery salt adds a nice depth of flavor but you can use what salt you have on hand!
- Onion powder
How to Make Dairy-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
First, put your mushrooms in a food processor and quickly pulse until the mushrooms are broken down into small pieces
Then, melt your butter in a pot over medium heat and let the mushroom pieces sauté for a couple of minutes
Next, you'll make your roux by adding the flour and whisking until smooth
Pour in the broth slowly while whisking continuously to make sure the mixture remains smooth and lump free, and then turn up the heat to about medium-high
Whisk in the almond milk slowly
Remove from the heat once the soup has thickened up and mix in the spices
The soup will thicken more as it cools!
Add to your favorite recipes or thin it down with your milk of choice for soup!
Enjoy!
